Porsche
Porsche built the most successful sports car in history and has spent sixty years refining rather than replacing it: the 911's air-cooled decades — from the original through the RS 2.7 to the 993 — form one of the deepest collector markets in existence, while the water-cooled era's GT department has produced an unbroken run of instant collectables, from the GT3's generations to the GT2 RS and the 918 Spyder hypercar. Around the 911 sit the 356 that founded the company, the transaxle and 914 families, the Carrera GT — now firmly in the pantheon — and a motorsport record without equal: 19 outright Le Mans wins. Today's range spans the 911 in bewildering variety, the Cayman and Boxster, and the electric Taycan and Macan — but the collector gravity still centres on Zuffenhausen's flat-six.
